My '68 Atlas is fitted with a 2LS front brake.

Is it possible to time a Jubilee with a strobe (six volt) providing the strobe is connected to a separate 12 volt battery. Will any strobe do the job.

Thanks

John.

Hello,

anyone know the thread for the swinging arm spindle nut, mine looks a bit bashed and I can not be sure of measuring with thread gauge.

Thanks

I have an early 1962 88SS which is not fitted with a down-draught head. I understand early models of the 88SS may not have a down-draught head.

I wonder if anyone happens to know what diameter bore CNW use in their hydraulic clutch slave?

I don't have one, nor intent to have one... Just doing a bit of maths on hydraulic systems for a bit of fun.

Wonder if anyone could please put me in the right direction to find a inner Speedo cable for my Smiths Chromometric speedo. It is the pin type as fitted to most prewar Norton's. Many Thanks.

Stupid question here.

On a 1956 Dommie with a monobloc carb, is the choke on or off with the handlebar lever pulled towards you ?

Sorry to raise this subject again, but Iâve been searching and reading old posts but am still not sure ....... can anyone confirm that full width hubs fitted into a pre featherbed frame have the rims centralised over the hub?

Hi all, I am trying to determine the correct part number for the condenser in my 1963 Model 50. I know the points are "425219'. Can anybody confirm for me the correct condenser is "54410823" ? Pic attached below.... Thanks in advance. Clive.

Hi guys

I had a tyre deflate while at the manx GP , Don't know why, possibly faulty valve, just about to re-tube as it ran flat for a few yards and the tube looks marked .

I have been trying to source the union "bolt" that secures the rocker oil feed pipe to the oil tank.

Rebuilding swing arm on my 1972 Manufacture Combat Roadster . The shaft has a minuscule amount of play where it passes through bearing tube in gearbox cradle . Is this normal and taken up by the retaining bolt or should it be replaced ?

Next Sunday morning Comet Classics are holding an Open Morning. Anyone interested in Classic Bikes will have an opportunity to visit their showroom to checkout the current stock of classic two-wheelers and possibly make an investment.

It?s in the parts list, it?s available through NOC spares,

I ordered it, got it but I have no clue where to fit it.

if I remove the advance unit to replace the springs, do I need to re-time the ignition?

Hi,

Does anyone out there know where I can obtain the following please?

Hi all, just replaced the head gasket on my 1963 Model 50 and have searched this site and read the downloaded manual I have. Got the specs...

.003 inlet and .006exh cold. No problem.

Hello,

Just had the chance to get a nice 500T. For those interested in records, it has F3T 40283 number.

Should it be the case.. what are the implications of the frame number not matching the engine number, this might be for a Navi. Of course the frame is made of a number of parts, with only one element having the number stamped on as I understand.

I've bought a timing cover from fleabay ostensibly for an ES2 but regrettably it doesn't quite fit. Everything is fine apart from the two fixing holes inside the timing chain compartment which are at different centres to the original.

While I realise a Norton site but in addition to my model 99 I have a Triumph 1971 T120R and a number of us will own more than one classic bike.

Several years ago at the request of a member in Kiwi land I measured and made drawings of the throttle screw on my ES2 276 standard carb - IIRC Nortons called it their " Easily Starting Screw " or some thing to that effect.

1963 Dominator with an RM19 3-wire alternator connected as a 2-wire, A-REG One, 12v 6Ah AGM battery, ammeter and BSM, all been working fine for 5 years/12500 miles. The alternator is 9 years/26000 miles old.

Thinking of converting the Jubilee to 12 volts. Whats your preference, Boyer or Pazon.

Thanks

John.

Hi all.

Took charge of a very original 1956 Model 50 about 18 months ago. Started fine from cold and went well. Started OK within about 5 mins of stopping. Joined the VMCC recently and started going on runs with them.

I have installed which I think is correct a Champion L82c plug.

I tried to cross reference the plug number in the hand book. L82c is what I came up with

Is this correct?

Thanks

Ian
